This document discusses how blockchain technology on Microsoft Azure can help businesses. It provides an overview of blockchain use cases, how Azure supports blockchain deployment through templates, development tools, and services, and a practical example of a track and trace solution built on Azure using Ethereum and IoT. Resources are listed to help users learn more about blockchain on Azure.

6. | Cryptocurrencies are an application of Blockchain.
| Blockchain is far more than just crypto!
| Even Fintech is more than just crypto.
Blockchain … not Cryptocurrencies

7. Where is Blockchain right now?

8. To quote Gartner
2019 Blockchain Webinar 8
“For example, Blockchain could be a game
changer for data security leaders, as it has the
potential to increase resilience, reliability,
transparency, and trust in centralized systems.”

9. 10
| A Blockchain is
| Immutable
| Transparent
| A ledger, a sequential list of transactions

10. 11
| There is a single source of truth
| No central authority
| No single point of failure
| Fault resilient and tolerant
| Achieved through
| APIs
| Smart Contracts

11. Use Cases
12

12. 13
Transport of Containers
| Problem: Shipping containers are
released when all conditions (rules) are
fulfilled. Customs, payment, …
| Opportunity: The Business Process can
be automated and shared by a
consortium BC
| Transparency: the BC nodes execute
the Business Process as a decentralized
application

13. 14
Flight Delay Compensation
| Problem: Opaque compensation-
process
| Opportunity: Strengthening the trust
in automated payments
| Transparency : the BC smart contract
polls for the outcome / result of the
precise arrival time of the flight
| Concept similar to: Music Industry
(Royalties payment), Intellectual
Property…

14. 15
Identity Management
| Problem: Existing systems store
personal information across many
different data silos
| Opportunity: Give users back control
over their personal information
| Transparency : Creation of a digital
identity, off chain in a secure
environment. Interaction is logged via
the ledger
| Concept Similar to: Fraud, Voting

15. 16
Land registry
| Problem: Identifying ownership of
land can be a very complex process,
especially through inheritance
| Opportunity: Tokenize land
ownership through smart contracts
| Transparency: The transfer of
ownership is more reliable and
instantaneous through smart
contracts.

16. 17
Track and Trace of Food
| Problem: Quality of goods is not
always properly tracked and there
are often dips in temperature that
are not registered
| Opportunity: Strengthening the trust
that customers can have in suppliers
and retailers
| Transparency : the BC smart contract
polls IoT Sensors for any violation of
environmental or time conditions

17. 18
Unlocking Blockchain through Azure

18. Microsoft Vision
2019 Blockchain Webinar 19
| No first party ledger. Ledger Agnostic. Industry Agnostic.
| No crypto/Alt-coin. Our focus is on blockchain for Enterprises/Governments.
| Hybrid Cloud models – Multi clouds
| Microsoft loves open source
| Implement it the way you want
| IaaS
| PaaS
| “It is not about Blockchain! It is about a solution to a business problem”
| Develop an ecosystem of partners offering
| Industry Solutions
| Consortium Setup and Management
| Extended Platform features

19. Blockchain Services on Azure
2019 Blockchain Webinar 20
Ledger Templates on Azure IaaS
Marketplace has templates for most of the
ledgers in use today (Over 40 templates
and solutions)
• Azure Public
• Government
• China Cloud
Solution Accelerators “Blockchain
Workbench”
One click setup of the complete plumbing
required to put in place a PoC – which
can be extended later to production
grade.
Blockchain Development Kit
“No-Code” plug and play integration
mechanisms for LOB applications
DevOps Pipelines
Heterogenous User Interfaces

20. 21
Practical approach

21. How we did it…
| Developed own track and trace solution working end-to-end.
| IoT-Ready
| Interface with cellular IoT Networks
| IoT Simulator
| APIs (possible interaction with multiple Blockchains)

Final thoughts…
| Blockchain is not a standalone
technology.
| It is a piece of the puzzle.
| And the pieces need to be put
together.

… that is where we come in
| 20 years experience in integration
| We can help you (re)-define your
business processes
| Build the architecture together
